About Us

My 1st cat:
I have always loved cats, my 1st kitten was at 9 years old, she belonged to my grandmother but I always called her mine. I remember her so clearly, more clearly than some things that happened last year. Kiki Moon was a solid dark gray Persian, that was my 1st connection with cats, I still remember she was so young when I held her in my arms, she was trying to nurse on my pink T-shirt, drooling all over it, with the loudest 1st purr my ears and heart have heard.
My 1st litter of kittens:
My years with cats in Libya:
In 1991 my dad took me to Morocco, I was almost 7 years old at the time. I grew up being around cats, cats that are not as fortunate as ones here. I wanted to save them all, and take care of them the best I could. I did not have cat food, so I would eat my vegetables and other things and save my meat to give to the cats.
At a young age, I learned so much about cats and their health, I raised orphan kittens, I tamed wild ones, I loved them with all my heart.
Returning home (to the USA):
With the help of the US embassy, I was able to return home Sep 13 2008. I had to start from zero, worked 2 jobs riding a bike from and to home. 2010 I got my federal job, got my 1st car and moved out of my small apartment.
My 1st Ragdolls:
2010 was when I started searching for Ragdoll kittens, I was only planning on one when I was searching. Things don't always go as planned, I got Sicily and Prince with breeding rights.
In November 2010 I brought Sicily home from the airport, it was one of the best days of my life, that's when I fell in love with the Ragdoll breed.
Becoming a breeder:
I started breeding while still working at my Federal Job, at 1st my plan was Sicily and Prince only, .....  but then I got Khaleesi, Leah, ...............
As I obtained more Ragdolls, and more responsibility for raising these kittens. I left my federal job after 5 years of service, to dedicate all my time to these loving Ragdolls.
